Plus educate yourself fool, Slave can indeed be paid. Even chattle slaves of the 19th century were paid trivial amounts.
The important part there is "Trivial amounts", you have a computer, electricity and rather a lot of time off to troll web sites. You have zero idea of what constitutes a state of slavery you utterly gormless prick.
Maybe it is you who does not know the meaning of the term.
You like Mario seem to only think Chattel Slavery is the only definition to the word slave or slavery. Chattel slavery is only one type of slavery:

This is the definition of the word slave:
- a person who is owned by another person and is forced to work for them.
- 2a person who is so strongly influenced by something that they cannot live without it, or cannot make their own decisions
- work that is done by slaves; the slaves who do the work.
- work that is very hard and very badly paid.
slavery is about below minimal to no monetary compensation, and giving one's personal (illusion) of control over to someone else.
That is what defines a slave. Again all of this is true for chattel slavery, but not all of the qualifiers of chattel slavery are present in the basic definition of the word, meaning not all slaves are chattel slaves. To say all slavery is chattel slavery is a false equivocation.
This is why I point out that while corporations do not own chattel slaves to the degree of 19th century USA, they do 'lease' people. and rather than pay them less for a 70+ hour work week than what you would make working 1 hour @ minimum wage. Or they are made to do quota work (they work till they hit a certain production number) This could mean days for a fix amount, or for just 'living expenses.' And most of the time to get that job putting your Nikes together they have to sign a 6month or year(s) long contract if their is any skill involved in their work.
Again just because I do not pick cotton or assemble shoes does not mean I get to do what I want when I want. This on line stuff, between the writing and off site research is a 40+ hour a week job, on top of my actual work ( I manage two separate companies), on top of all my other responsibilities, and family.
I don't get paid to do any of this work, yet the one who bought and paid for me has indeed tasked me with what I do here. so I do it and take all of this very seriously, and my work and time investment here these past several years show this. Which if you were honest with the definitions provided by The Oxford Dictionary, does indeed qualify me as a slave.
